[Chapter-delegates] Language and resrouces for those addressing the DNS filtering, SOPA and SOPA- like challenges.

[Ted Mooney]

The ramifications of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) continue to draw
media attention, and especially today with the blackout by Wikipedia and
actions of other high-profile websites, including Google. The Internet
Society posted the following news headline on our home page, "Internet
Society Supports Actions to Raise Awareness of the Consequences of Proposed
U.S. Legislation, SOPA." The headline links to our December statement that
expressed opposition to SOPA and the Protect-IP Act (PIPA), and provides a
link to more details on DNS filtering and our white paper,

We continue to pursue opportunities to express our views on this important
topic. We are very pleased to report that a bylined article from our Chief
Internet Technology Officer, Leslie Daigle, was just published on Forbes.

The Internet Society stands ready to defend our stance that sustained,
global collaboration amongst all parties is needed to find ways that protect
the global architecture of the Internet while combating illegal online
activities. We will keep you posted on further developments on this serious
issue.   We also encourage all of you to alert us to any activity in your
countries and around the world so that we might collaboratively address
these regressive ideas.

 

With best regards,
